Paraguayan and Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz has intimated that he is considering leaving Ewood Park for Champions League Football.

He has already been offered a contract with Manchester City but turned it down for a renewal of his contract with Blackburn Rovers instead.

Speaking to the press on Friday Santa Cruz stated that he may have to start looking for a club that could challenge for the English Premier League title as well, as he thought, at this stage, Blackburn Rovers were not quite able to do that.

He concluded by saying that he has committed himself in the short term to his current club as it is a wonderful club in which to be a part of and he feels indebted to the club for what they have done for him over the last few years.
